This is our traditional Pilsner. Mojave Gold is made with two-row malted barley, European Saaz hops, pure artesian spring water and our proprietary strain of yeast. We lager this exquisitely refreshing brew to perfection every time. This is a crisp golden beer that appeals to beer drinkers of all types.

I have been drinking some tasty pilsners of late. This wasn't really one of them

Ok - that starts harsh. It's not the worst, but in a beer where every little flaw is magnified, there are plenty here. It looks like a pilsner should. The aroma is a butterscotch and citrus. The taste highlights the butterscotch. It's kinda of oily - which I didn't like.

Like the previous poster - I got 4 of these as well as 4 each of 2 other Indian Wells beers. I cross my fingers that those are better.

Pours a pretty clear golden color with a one-finger white head and some lacing.

Aroma is fairly faint with sweet malt, corn, grain, and floral hops.

On the flavor...yep, there's the Indian Wells I know. Pale malt and grain give way to a cornucopia of off-flavors. Cooked corn, vomit, and metals dominate. Finishes with decent floral hops, but that's not enough to save this train wreck. Man, this is foul.

Palate is bad but could be worse. Medium-light body, somewhat astringent.

Drinking enough to get a good review of this was a real struggle. One I would not like to repeat again. Why do I keep buying Indian Wells beers? Well, why do people like walking across hot coals or wearing sleeves with stinging ants woven into them or watching anything on MTV? I'd like to say I'll never buy anything from this brewery again, but we all know that would be a lie. Stay tuned...

Oh yeah, and I really can't believe this beer stood at a C- before I reviewed it. Wow.

T - Very grassy and malty. Has that classic pislner taste, but not a whole lot of flavor. Almost no hop flavor whatsoever.

M/D - What can I say? It's a pislner. Very drinkable. I would have liked some more hop flavor, but I also don't like pislners with too much hop flavor. I really don't think this beer is as bad as some other reviews have made it out to be.

Picked up by a friend who stopped by the Indian Wells Brewery after a trip up to Lake Tahoe. Presented in a 12oz brown bottle.
Poured a hazy straw color with a white head that vanished in less than 30 seconds despite a decent amount of carbonation visible. Looks like a hefeweizen with the head cut off.
Mild fruity aroma. Some citrus fruit notes mild malts.
A light taste of malt with a lemony citrus flavor and easy floral hops taste in the finish. Not all that flavorful.
Feel is crisp, dry and light-bodied. Refreshing.
Overall, this beer has the low ABV% and refreshing quality to be a good session beer. Now it just needs a taste boost to make me want to drink more. An underpowered beer.

Served from the tap at the brewery in a pilsner, this beer was disappointing from the start. The color was lackluster, with no true shine or 'pop.' The beer had the proper amount of carbonation for a Gold, and was not cloudy, but rather dull in color. There was little to no aroma on the beer, and the flavor continued along with the smell. The beer itself was crisp and light on the tongue, which was the perfect consistency for a Gold, but it might as well have been crisp and light water, because there was no flavor to the beer itself. Despite that, there was an aftertaste, which was musty and flat.

Overall, I would not search out this particular beer again. I do enjoy a light beer, especially during warmer seasons, but this brew would not be on my radar again.

My dad brought this beer back from a week long fishing trip. I had high hopes for it, but sadly it did not live up to my pallet... It pretty much tastes like Heineken and Bud Light mixed together. Not something I'd recommend... To be honest this is a pretty horrible beer, and if I wasn't already really drunk I wouldn't be drinking this crap...

Poured into a glass to a rapidly vanishing head if one was even present at the pour. The pale gold/copper color was also not particularly appetizing. I thought the beer had a sour tinge to it when I tried it so wonder if the bottle I tried was not stored properly which in the middle of Death Valley where it was purchased is certainly a possibility. The mouthfeel matched the lacking appearance and taste and the beer came off as watery at best and soured at worst.

Pours a golden color with a darker brown-orange tint. Head is short lived and spotty, although it leaves behind a fairly rich lather on the sides.

Nose seems overly malted, with pale sweetness edging out the element of darker, possibly wheat malts as well. Flavor follows suit, and bears out the sweetness thought by bringing a fairly strong not of cherry cough syrup to the table.

Body is pretty full, finish is warming, and the bubbling is a hair shy of up to the task. But for the strangely powerful cherry flavor that lasts well into the finish, this could be a drinkable brew, but I'm having trouble getting over that hump.

Smelled rather weak. Hops were present as well as some sweet malt, but nothing really very appealing.

Tasted somewhat better than it smelled, and better than I was expecting. A bit peppery with some hint of lemon. Still, nothing great going on here.

The mouthfeel was actually pretty decent. Light/medium bodied with a very crisp bite to it at the end.

Other than the mouthfeel there's nothing special going on here. I'm glad I managed to pick a single bottle of this up rather than having to buy a six pack. It's not a terrible beer by any means, there's just dozens and dozens of other beers of this style that are a better choice.
